The Use of Grocery Paper.

was reading the other day about
how to use everything that comes
into the house. But the book said
that there was no use that could be
made of coarse brown grocery paper
either for ornament or service. The
book is wrong. The coarse brown
paper is great absorber of grease
Keep it in sheets one above the 9TH
er with board on top. This paper
will absorb the grease inside and out
side of iron kettles, frying pans and
any other utensil, by making loose
wad and wiping out t1e grease. In
this way much stopping of water,
much waste of soap, and terribly
dirty dishcloths and towels may be
avoided.
Brown paper laid over and under
grease spot on garment, and then
passed over with warm iron will
at least partially, remove the grease.
In the same way it will help to alb
sorb grease from wood. After using
the paper it can be burned, or strain
ed through the soap grease, lit is
full of fat and no SCOT or other parti-
Giles Oh it.

with brown paper before washing it.
use this paper continually in my
little home, consequently my dish
water is clear suds all day, my hem
med dish cloths are like napkins and
my kitchen towels not black nor
marked. burn the paper as use
it. use good soap in the kitchen,
it saves the hands. Coarse laundry
soap stiffens the hands and irritates
them, and Injuries the beauty of that
wonderful and expressive member.
Have plenty of dish towels, good
dish cloths and a bucket for the
suds if you have no sink. Have
rope line in the sun for the towels
and cloths, or in case TIE yard does
not admit that, have neat string
near the stove to hang the kitchen
cloths and towels on as fast as they
are damp. They can be fastened to
the line with small clothes pins.
Since so many women have to spend
so much Of their lives in the kitchen,
it should be made a place Of comfort.
Be sure and have an easy chair there
